#1000 woes!
Ed (or Fred);
I installed the LazerXpress PAL into my controller for the Amiga 1000. Being
the 'chicken' fellow that I am, I thought that I would first try the
LazerXpress printer directly on the Amiga 1000 before trying anything like
'sharing.' It did not work. I thought…. 'self, even though this cable have
never been used and it is the cable that came with the controller on the Amiga
1000, it is just possible that it is bad.' Thus, shut down the Amiga 2000
(again), borrowed the SCSI cable and tried the Amgia 1000 yet a second time, to
no avail.
Since the message was 'Check printer or Paper' I though that I would be real
brave……. shut everything down, connected the Amiga 2000 to the LazerXpress
printer using the first cable tried with the Amiga 1000 and left the 1000
connected. Interestingly enough, the Amiga 2000 still prints to the printer
just fine but the 1000 still it unable to do so.
The host address on the 2000 is 7, on the printer is 3 and on the 1000 is 6
(though it was seven when tried alone with the printer). DevInstall,
LaserSetUp file, all drivers and handlers were copied directly from the
operating Amiga 2000 to the 1000. No error messages are seen when devinstall
runs (though there was the first time since I had not installed the PAL at that
point).
Any ideas? What next?
